Second Celestial Range

The Second Celestial Range was a loose organization of Celestial societies that existed in the Galaxy more than 8 million years before the Celestial Empire. It officially existed as a political entity for more than 500,000 years, before being dissolved when the Celestials left the Galaxy for a second time.

During the time of the Second Celestial Range, numerous lifeforms were moved by various Celestial groups from planet to planet, creating the Species Placement Anomaly.

History
The Second Celestial Range was founded in approximately 10,000,000 BBY, 9 million years before the Celestial Empire, but over four billion years after the First Celestial Range.

The beings who founded the Range were Celestials who had arrived from outside the Galaxy, having presumably migrated from another Galaxy that had been colonized long before. The Celestials of this period were categorically the same species as the ones of 5,000,000,000 BBY, although there were many major changes to their appearance and behavoir.

The Second Celestial Range was incredibly decentralized, taking only minute amounts of taxation from smaller Celestial societies. Because of this, it lasted for an immense length of time, almost 500,000 years. After it's disappearance, there was no interstellar government in the Galaxy until the Celestial Empire.

Of all the Celestial governments, the Second Celestial Range was the largest, encompassing almost the entire Galaxy.
